This is some fantastic work so far guys.

Well done Chris and Paul.

The sydney lot are getting a little worried about weather at the moment, but I tried to set them straight on what Newy weather is really like :angry:

So, just in case anyone is interested, the forcast for Saturday is....

"Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Warm to Hot. North to NE winds."

Theres no forecast for Sunday yet, but it does say "Trend for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday fine to mild."

Which does sound alot better to me.

I'll keep an eye out.

IF it rains i'd say it will only be late afternoon showers, with a hot sunny day. :D

Here is a report i found on the text messgae thing:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200512/s1530430.htm

so according to this there should be no problem.....

thanks bro. c ya there

Hrmmmm I am getting a little worried about all this though. Not because I think it will happen here, but generally because of the hieghtened state of alert the local authorities are on.

I'm thinking we should either find another place sort of close to Newcastle and a beach for the arvo stuff with the Sydney crew, or at least let Newcastle Police know what we have had planned for a month now and that we won't be there to cause trouble. More so they know they can focus elsewhere.

But telling them also means EVERYONE has to be on their absolute best behaviour whilst driving down through Newy.

Alright, so it looks like the Sydney crew aren't coming up for the day. Understandable really. Most of their reasons are well founded.

So.....

We have choices to make.

1) Are we still going?

I say yes. And I'm 100% positive about that.

Why?

Because I say we cruise in spite of all these "threats". I say we show our support for Australias multicutural society and get on with our normal activities.

I was even thinking of some kind of temp sticker for my rear windscreen with something like "I support a multicutural Australia". But maybe, maybe not... lol

Anyway.

2) What shall we do after lunch?

This is something we can prob discuss in the morning at Speersy, but something for you all to keep in mind till then.

We can opt to take our time with photos and lunch, and drag it all out more. Or we can cruise back down to somewhere else. Stockton or back to Speers Point or something.

I'd honestly stay away from Newcastle itself, more to give the police a break then anything else.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

sorry guys im very dissapointed :)

we were lookin forward of meetin u all, we will but its not a good time now. hope u guys have fun in ur cruise. keep safe.

i dont think stickers will be wise, u will get hammered by both sides :)

just a thought :D

Wooo! I'm getting excited!

The photo shoot idea sounds good...

Imagine the perfect shot, on the water beautiful background crystal clear water WITH 20 SKYLINE OWNERS SWIMMING TO SAVE THERE CARS!... ehhehe hope that doesn’t happen.

Anyway I cant wait. Should be a mad day.

Edit: I think I missed reading about 50 posts before i replied.

I haven’t heard much about riots in Newy yet... That’s sort of news to me.

It may actually look like a car club cruise with 20 - 50 Skylines in the same area. But still it wont hurt much to postpone if absolutely necessary.

Damn right its going ahead!

Can't let all this hard work go to waste! :)

Plus, we're not going anywhere Newcastle, till maybe the arvo.

And by then, we should know if its a good idea or not.

ive ordered all the food....pick-up 9.00 on Sunday morning...so it will be nice and fresh....... 100 lunches to go!

Hmm i might still actually come as youse are almost if not certain that where we are cruising to there are no riots happening... plus it will be my first cruise with my first car lol :blink:

I'm still up for it!

Hey guys - so many posts since i last checked!!

I have heard NOTHING about these newie riots (whatever that means) happening at the beach. I reckon its just a bunch of 16 y.o fags just taggin onto the media trying to be cool and sms everyone they can. They wont even sho wup themselves!!!!

So i say we go ahead with the cruise - wise decisions there above^^^^ and play it by ear on the day.

Excellent organisation by all members and especially Chris, Paul & Stace. Cheers guys, seeya Sunday.

(Paul if you are picking the food up at 9am sunday does that mean you wont be meeting at Spears point????)

pt

Hey everyone. I'm hoping i'll be able to come on sunday. I have a white 1995 R33 GTST and have been waiting to go on a cruise and meet some new people. Moving house tomorrow so it all depends on how that goes, but i'm gonna do my best to get there. By the way is there anyone from Singleton going that wants to meet up somewhere and cruise down to speers point in the morning?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
